While floating down The Colorado River through The Grand Canyon, I had the great fortune to watch a small herd of Desert Big Horn Sheep near the shore-line. The herd consisted of about 3 Rams, 4 Ewes, and 5 lambs. During my observation, I witnessed the early beginning of the breeding season.

After multiple repetitions of running back and forth in view along the shore line, with the two rams stopping twice and head-butting, the ewe decides to try a different course, and heads up over the slight ridge out of view, with both suitors still in pursuit.
